Abstract:

Phyllostachys edulis is a major bamboo species found in southern China,where rain and snow seriously affect the cultivation of the bamboo stand for bamboo shoot,causing the bamboo plant to fall down and break off.The artificial control of top tip of bamboos is the most effective way for bamboo shoot to resist the negative effect from the weather.This paper takes Taojiang of Hunan Province as an example and selects three bamboo shoots grown in high slope in low-altitude areas as sample plots.New bamboo shoots are controlled by manualy shaking.The results show that after shaking,the bamboo plant can resist negative effects from rain and snow,but the improper conduct of shaking can also cause some damage to the new bamboo.The damage can be controlled if the way of shaking can be mastered by workers.

Key words: Phyllostachys edulis forest, Young bamboo, bamboo shoots forest cultivation, manually shake the top tip, lodging-resistant
